RECEIVING MRS. CLEVELAND.
A Committee of Ladies Makes a
Suggestion.

10 the EDITOR OF the Gl0De.
Sir: We noticed an invitation in yes
terday's GLOBE for the ladies of St.
Paul to show themselves pleased to en-
terrain Mrs. Cleveland. Now we wish
to be allowed to accept that suggestion
in our own way: We ladies of st. Paul
are anxious to greet Mrs. Cleveland. but
il would be exceedingly embarrassing
to make ourselves conspicuous in any
particular way and find at last that we
had offended her dignity. would like
to say just here that more than three
fourthS of the ladies in st. Paul are
lab0ring women, and some are quite
poor, but we stand for honesty and vir-
tue, and if we supposed for one moment
that she, 1.-The most honOred lady of the
United States" would rather see US
stand back or keep in the background
while the wealthy ones stepped for
ward, why. we would only say that we
had troubled ourselves needlessly, but
if it would be any pleasure and enjoy
ment to Mrs. Cleveland or her loyal hus-
band. Mr.. Cleveland, to meet the ladies
of st. Paul, both rich and poor, high and
low, at the depot. we would be highly
delighted to do this, and also to be al
lowed to strew flowers in her pathway
as she leaves the depot to go to the
hotel. May we depend upon the GLOBE
to ascertain if this kind-meaning recep-
ton would be acceptable to Mrs. Cleye-
land? Tell her, please, that we, of city
which hOnoreth the rich and poor alike,
and who expect to get to heaven on our
own merits with the help of Gods grace,
desire to show to the whole world that
ST. Paul is, as named by the GLOBE and
the community around us, The SANITY
City.

The Irish Landlords.

DUBLIN, Sept. 15.-At conference of
the Irish landlords held here to-day,
resolutions were adopted by unani-
nous vote denying that the present
rents prevailing in Ireland were OPP
pressive or that reasonable abatements
had been refused. Rents had not been
increased in Ireland from 1910 to 1880.
whereas, in England, Scotland and
Wales, rents in the same time had in
creased from 81 to 40 per cent. The
landlords of Ireland, it further main
tanned, have rendered important aid to
Irish agriculture, and do not.
as alleged, neglect duties towards
either property or community.
eff" say the resolutions, s'We
were guided by the most selfish motives.
we would still be fools to evict tenants
whose bankruptcy our forbearance
would prevent. We deplore the aliena-
ton existing in Ireland between the
landlords and tenants, and we desire to
restore amity. The recent evictions
were forced on us through political mo-
tives." In conclusion the resolution
says:
We demand that the government speedily
and finally settle the land question in ireland
on just terms to all parties concerned in
Guiding q compensation to the landlords for
the loss of exclusive ownership, and reduc-
ton Of public charges on land.
